Pwn2Own Contest 2010 – Pwn2Own recently had a contest for all hackers to try their best to hack into select programs and devices. And in this case, it was the iPhone, IE8, Firefox and Safari.

These contests always has the best of the best hackers from all over the country and they show up to try to hack the supposed “un-hackable” programs. Well, here are some of the results for the Pwn2Own Contest 2010:

- Pwn2Own MacBook attack: Charlie Miller hacks Safari again
- Peter Vreugdenhil exploits IE8 on Windows 7 to win Pwn2Own
- Vincenzo Iozzo and Ralf Philipp Weinmann hacked iPhone

Every hacker that successfully hacked into the programs were paid anywhere between $10,000 and $15,000. Not a bad days work if you ask me!

On top of that, some of the hackers were allowed to keep the hacked devices such as the iPhone.

Lucky them, huh?

Well, the first iPhone virus has arrived. And who said that Apple can protect against everything? But they are saying if you receive a text message with a single square character that you should immediately turn off your phone. That’s a warning that someone is taking over your iPhone.

If you’re effected by the iPhone virus then the iPhone hacker has completely control over your phone. And that includes making calls, text messaging, visit websites and even turning on your camera and take pictures. But more importantly, they can keep sending the bug via SMS.

The interesting news is the fact that Apple was warned about this six weeks ago and still have not done anything about this. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just someone trying to prove a point.
